Barker's Newsbites: Tuesday, April 23, 2013
I picked the following as today's newsbite theme song not simply because it's "cute," but because it makes the point that the Constitution we were given by our Founders was a compromise.
Perhaps the most brilliant mechanism of this compromise was the Amendment Process which - for good or ill - allows "We the People" to change the Constitution as "We" see fit.
The Amendment Process is what is properly meant by the phrase "Our living, breathing Constitution."
Never forget this, my friends...

* READ THE FULL ARTICLE. (IT'S BY HEATHER MACDONALD.)
http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2013/apr/23/house-gop-administration-blew-benghazi-response/
House Republicans have concluded that Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton was responsible for cutting security at the consulate in Benghazi ahead of last year’s attack there, and that the administration lied about why it downplayed terrorism as the cause of the assault.
* FOLKS... I COVERED BENGHAZI... THE ABOVE OPENING SENTENCE REPORTING ON THE LATEST HOUSE INVESTIGATORY FINDINGS (YEP... RUN BY REPUBLICANS...) FITS IN WITH EVERYTHING I WAS REPORTING IN REAL TIME FOR WEEKS... FOR MONTHS...
A new report — the result of months of investigation by five different House committees — says there was plenty of intelligence that presaged the attack, but the State Department and President Obama failed to heed the warnings or give the Defense Department the authority to respond to such an attack.
* I SAID IT THEN; I'LL REPEAT IT NOW; OBAMA HAS BLOOD ON HIS HANDS. (HILLARY AS WELL.)
The report exonerates the Pentagon itself, saying the military did what it could to respond once the attack began, but “was hindered on account of U.S. military forces not being properly postured” beforehand.
* LEON PANETTA... (*SHRUG*)
* I'M CERTAINLY NOT EXONERATING THE MILITARY. THE MILITARY IS RUN BY CIVILIANS... CIVILIANS APPOINTED BY AND OVERSEEN BY BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA.
* BEYOND THAT... FROM WHAT WE'VE FOUND OUT LATELY STARS ON ONE'S SHOULDER BOARDS DON'T NECESSARILY EQUATE WITH COMPETENCE NOR CHARACTER.
In the most damning finding: House Republicans said Mr. Obama and his team lied about the attacks afterward, first by blaming mob violence spawned by an anti-Muslim video, and then wrongly saying it had misled the public because it was trying to protect an FBI investigation.
* BASTARDS.
“This progress report reveals a fundamental lack of understanding at the highest levels of the State Department as to the dangers presented in Benghazi, Libya, as well as a concerted attempt to insulate the Department of State from blame following the terrorist attacks,” the GOP investigation concluded in its 46-page report.
* THE DEPARTMENT OF STATE AND IT'S THEN LEADER... HILLARY RODHAM CLINTON.
* CLINTON LIED. PEOPLE DIED. OBAMA LIED. PEOPLE DIED. HOW MANY OTHER MEMBERS OF THE ADMINISTRATION - AND ADMINISTRATION SYCHOPHANTS WITHIN THE MILITARY AND INTELLIGENCE AGENCIES AS WELL AS THE FBI - LIED?
* FOLKS... THE FBI... THIS SAME OBAMA FBI... INITIALLY LIED ABOUT WHAT THEY KNEW ABOUT THE BOSTON BOMBERS!
The Obama administration has acknowledged providing an inaccurate explanation for the attacks early on — even though officials at the Defense Department said they knew it was a terrorist assault from the beginning.
* BUT IN AMERICA 2009... 2010... 2011... 2012... 2013... LYING DOESN'T SEEM TO HURT THE LIAR; NOT WHEN THAT LIAR IS AN OBAMA OR A CLINTON.
But Mr. Obama has vehemently denied he intended to deceive the public.
(*ROLLING*)
Tuesday’s report comes after Republicans feared the pressure to get answers on the Benghazi attacks was dying out.
* IT HAS DIED OUT. INDEED, IT WAS NEVER REALLY THERE. RIGHT NOW IF "HE WHOSE NAME DARE NOT BE MENTIONED" IS READING THIS HE'S SIMPLY SHRUGGING IT OFF AS MEANINGLESS... EVEN IF IT'S TRUE IT DOESN'T CHANGE ANYTHING... NOT FOR HIM. (AT LEAST THAT'S MY GUESS...)
